Updates

Hello!
I hope you all are doing well and getting ready for this upcoming Holiday season that is just around the corner. It is hard to believe that this year is already coming to an end. We have truly been blessed this year in so many ways it would be impossible to list them all but we must take a moment to Give God the Glory for all that He has done in our lives! Terry has written several new songs over the past few weeks that have really been an inspiration to me and I pray that they will be to others. My favorite has to be one that simply says, "Give God the Glory."
Early last Friday morning we had a little scare with the baby and Terry had to rush me to the hospital. The hospital that I will be delivering at is about an hour from our home and the whole drive neither of us said a word. I thought maybe his silence came from the fact it was 2:00 AM and I had to awake him from a deep sleep. Later I found out that was not the case at all. We both knew we must pray the whole way to the hospital that our baby was okay and search for a peace from God. After a few test the doctors determined that everything was okay with the baby however I needed to be on complete bed rest from now until delivery to prevent a preterm birth. So driving back home from the hospital I found neither of us doing much talking again and to be honest assumed again that Terry was just sleepy. However, after we did get back home and rested we discussed our trips and the whole way home we both spent time just Giving God the Glory and thanking Him for keeping our child safe. I am so thankful to have a God that will listen to our prayers but most of all knows our every need.
We do sincerely desire the prayers of all of you that we will be able to sustain the next eight weeks of bed rest. Terry actually has the hard job of trying to keep me down and still keep the house in order. I must add he is doing a great job! Terry will still keep his schedule of being in Tenn this weekend and next weekend Pinson, AL. Please pray for him as he makes these trips. We love you all and appreciate all that you do for us!

May God Bless!

October Update

Hello!
Sorry it has been so long since we have posted. It seems like we have had so much to do to get caught up from being away from the office for so long. As you can tell October is a slow month for us however a few dates have come in for the end of the month and I will let you know about those soon.
As for me and the baby we are doing just fine. At our last doctors appt he told us that everything was looking great and we just have to continue to take it easy for 10-14 more weeks. Our plan is to make it to the due date of January 11th, however we will be pleased to just make it to week 37 which will be right around Christmas. Please keep us and the baby in your prayers.
Another update that we have for you is that we are trying to sell our RV. If you know of anyone that may be interested in a 1994 Winnebago Brave Motorhome they can contact us via email at terrychelms@aol.com or call the office at 256-396-1222. No this sale does not mean that we are coming off the road. Due to expenses becoming so great with the gas prices rising along with the expense of the monthly payment we have made the decision to cut back cost by traveling with car and trailer again. This will make traveling long distances a little more difficult however we know that God will take care of us!
We trust that you all will please keep us in your prayers during these difficult times. We love you all and appreciate your support.

Love,
Terry & Jessica Helms
